On Thursday, KeyBanc analysts reaffirmed their Underweight rating on Thor Industries Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:THO) stock, keeping the price target steady at $65.00. The decision comes despite Thor Industries reporting robust fiscal third-quarter results that surpassed expectations on both top and bottom lines. According to InvestingPro data, the company currently trades at a P/E ratio of 19.75x, with analysis indicating the stock may be overvalued at current levels.
The analysts noted that while the company delivered strong results for the fiscal third quarter, it chose to maintain its fiscal year 2025 guidance, highlighting ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. The anticipated challenges in the fiscal fourth quarter and early fiscal 2026 were cited as reasons for the cautious outlook. The company maintains solid fundamentals with a healthy current ratio of 1.71 and has impressively maintained dividend payments for 39 consecutive years, though InvestingPro analysis suggests net income is expected to decline this year.
Management at Thor Industries anticipates that fiscal year 2026 will perform similarly to fiscal year 2025, reflecting persistent macroeconomic challenges. The company continues to navigate a challenging retail environment, which is expected to impact investor sentiment in the near term.
The analysts highlighted the company’s current valuation, which is trading at approximately 20.5 times the lower fiscal year 2026 estimate. This is notably higher than the historical range of 7.0-16.0 times, prompting a cautious stance on the stock amidst a pressured retail environment.
